Just thought id post up my build for my latest light.
Been wanting to add on to my 6 light 3070 CREE setup so though why not go some what big for a center light and use 4 side lights for flower room then retire 2 into the clone/veg box.


Still waiting on the LED chip which should hopefully be here tomorrow looking at the tracking number.

So first off my parts list.
Antec 620 AIO water cooler (6 years old)
CLU 058-1825 LED CHIP
HLG-240H-54A Driver
220VAC to 12VDC 1amp buck.
KSA-240D2-12 AC relay with DC trigger
LM2917-N Frequency to Voltage chip (12V version with 0-5v output)


Putting together
Base has been removed form AIO so it can be tapped and threaded for mounting the LED chip, Which I plan on using screws and springs to keep tension on the chip though its mounting holes.
Its quite thin so no doubt im going to need to use some thread sealant
Drivers wires will be soldered to chip since I couldnt find any holders that take over 200W.
Arctic silver 5 thermal compound will be used.




Wiring should be pritty straight forward


Hoses to the radiator will be slightly extended so the radiator can be mounted in the exhaust ducting.
Hanging the light will be done using the 2 CPU brackets it came with on either side of the tabs then bolted together allowing for 4 points to tie to.

----------------------
Will update once I get it together tomorrow night.

I'm planning a watercooled rig with one of these standard heating radiators used as passive radiator to remove Ø 125w of heat from a 12 CXB3590 @700mA + 72 XP-E HE @350mA build.
First I thought of an Alphacool Cape Cora HF 12, but such a standard radiator does not only have more cooling area it also costs only the half..
What do you think?

@majins
sorry for highjacking your thread, but plans are in an early stage and I do not want to open an own.

Better air flow will mean better cooling. I think ensuring that will lead to success.

Huu, interesting...
Smart wiring!
Hope for you the small radiator is able to remove 240w under continous operation ..

Should handle it fine.
Iv had this cooler on a computer with the CPU drawing 350W and it handled that. And then also on a 300W Graphics card during its life.
Managed to keep the CPU under 60C and the GFX card under 45C So 140W of heat should be easy enough.

Depending how well this build works out for keeping heat down in the room ill be going full scale in 2-3 harvests time,
Have a extensive back ground in water cooling computers and enough parts I could put a system together with only buying a few cheaper CPU blocks to mount LEDs on.
Then mount the radiators out side of the room.

Your not going to have much luck with a passive radiator unless its somewhere with high air flow.

would it technically need airflow if the winter ambient temperature is really low?

No, but it will have the most efficient effect if you do add airflow.

Also, Im not too sure one standard 120mm PC radiator will be enough to cool ~200w. I had a 360mm PC radiator that struggled to keep up with ~150w of LEDs ( it kept the water in the high 90s F).

right. I can understand that the most efficient way is to put the radiator outside of the grow room, in a cooler area. Also a bigger reserve tank for the coolant would make a big difference I guess.
